Synthesis of all-aliphatic polyamide dendrimers based on a 3,3′-diaminopivalic acid scaffold

Abstract

Iterative 3,3′-diaminopivalic acid connections act as building blocks in the production of new all-aliphatic polyamide dendrimers. 3,3′-Diazidopivalic acid units underpin a two-step pathway involving carboxylic acid–amine condensation, followed azide reduction.
